Enter Duck Dynasty, a magically lucrative institution that simultaneously 1) is a reality show and 2) features conservative Christians. It was a money-printing machine for A&E until who could have predicted? one of its redneck stars did something one may have expected a redneck to do and our nation faced its greatest peril since, say, the Cold War. Has Western civilization ever confronted such an existential imperilment as the suspension of man-on-man-sex-eschewing Phil Robertson? A pretty big sector of the Internet submits that it has not.
There are perfectly understandable reasons to be upset about Robertsons suspension. But I, for one, am thrilled about it. I only wish A&E had gone further and suspended everyone on that stupid show, and also suspended everyone on all their other reality shows, and that all the other channels on TV that have reality shows had suspended all their stars too. Barring that, I wish great success to the Liberty Patriots who are boycotting A&E over Robertsons suspension, and I hope all other Americans, regardless of their patriot status, will join the A&E boycott, and that the A&E boycott will spread to include all the other channels that show this kind of nonsense, and that we can finally just get rid of it all for good, forever and ever amen. I want everyone suspended. I want every channel boycotted. I want every show shuttered, and permanently. I want to watch it burn.

Hey Bender your little horse friend MR ED is on Antenna TV on week day I saw him on episode where he hit off Sandy Koufax
He is lucky that wasn’t Don Drysdale pitching to him
Drysdale would bean him
Yeah, Seven, but I'd get on base... wouldn't I?
Thanks for the back story.
The easiest way to cancel programming is to quit watching those programs. The market will determine the outcome.
Lucky for him it wasn’t Nolan Ryan LOL!
Mr Ed it is true you have peanut butter spread in your mouth get you talk LOL!
Betsy Woodruff - don't like, don't watch, Ms. Elitist.
I always liked watching Whale Wars, to root for the Japanese whalers.
She is kinda cute, though, and, unlike the Fox Girls, sees no need to be a suicide blonde.
